I've just bought a photographic lens in excellent used condition from LCE.
I've used this company several times over the last 20 years and never had any issues at all. Very reliable

inadvertent purchase
I inadvertently purchased a used lens that didn’t fit my camera. I contacted LCE and they said just return it and we’ll give you a full refund. Absolutely no hassle.

The delivery
The delivery. The driver showed up, he did not bother to get down from the Van, he took the photo of the building and took off.

LCE gives real value for money and I have been trading with them for years in the used cameras and lenses and I would honestly recommend them to anybody.

Excellent service
Easy to find what I wanted on the website and make the purchase. Item was in stock, I was kept informed of progress, and it was delivered promptly by a reliable and reputable delivery service. Very pleased with the item so far - exactly what I was looking for. Also there is an LCE store local to me in Reading should I have any issues in the future. Actual camera shops are a rarity these days.

A timely and efficient transaction.
Having seen the Olympus 14-42mm EZ lens advertised for sale, I jumped at the chance of getting a replacement for my recently-failed one.
I sent a query about part-exchanging my Olympus 17mm f2.8 and received a rapid response.
Collection was arranged, quickly checked by staff and the order given to proceed with the deal.
